Junior Ranger Experience at Kartchner
Kartchner Caverns State Park
Apr. 8 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Wondering about the Junior Ranger program at Kartchner Caverns?
Come out and get a well rounded experience on what it means to be a junior ranger. Each Junior Ranger will build their confidence by participating in the "Where did I come from?" program. This is where each participant finds something in nature that peaks their interest and builds a story around that item. This will help with practicing public speaking, creative storytelling, and building a connection between nature and the youth of today. At the end of the program there will be a group swear in and each participant will receive a junior ranger button. Meet at the group ramada.
Space is limited, so sign up here!
